Preparing for Your Visit

Plan ahead for appointments, tests or admission. Find practical preparation guidance, what to bring, arrival information and support resources before your visit.

Before You Arrive

Planning ahead can make a healthcare visit easier and less stressful. Before your visit, gather the information you may need, write down questions for your care team and make a current list of medicines, supplements and allergies.

What to prepare

Bring identification and any appointment or referral information you have received. Keep a list of your medications and relevant health information, and consider bringing a trusted family member or support person when appropriate.

During your visit

Ask questions whenever something is unclear. Understanding your care, next steps and follow-up plan is an important part of participating in your healthcare.
